[QUOTE="2009, post: 4237546, member: 167624"] [SIZE=4]Three contractors . . . One from Sri Lanka, another from Germany and the third from England are bidding to repair the White House fence. A senior White House official takes them to examine it. The English contractor takes out a tape measure and does some measuring, then works on some figures with a pencil. "Well," he says. "I figure the job will cost $900 . . . $400 for materials, $400 for labour and $100 profit for me." The German contractor also does some measuring and figuring and then says, "I can do this job for $700 . . . $300 for materials, $300 for my crew and $100 profit for me." The Sri Lankan contractor doesn't measure or do any figuring, but leans over to the White House official and whispers: "$2,700." The official incredulously says, "You didn't even measure like the other guys! How did you come up with such a high figure?" "Easy," the Sri Lankan explains, "$1,000 for you, $1,000 for me and we hire the guy from Germany to do the work!" Guess who got the contract..............!![/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
